> DDR4 is EOL

11 years after specification released.

DDR4 makes it possible since 5 and half years to build 128GB AMD PC using 4x 32GB DDR4-3200 1.2V JEDEC modules. Only since half a year it is at last possible to build AMD PC with 128GB DDR5-5600 RAM. Because Ryzen DDR5 controller cannot operate with 2 sticks sharing the same channel at JEDEC speed/voltage.

DDR4 just cannot be EOL already because of unbuffered ECC! Even today it is not possible to have 128GB with 2 DDR5 sticks on AMD. Only 96GB.

And actually I'd expect 256GB (DDR5-8800 1.1V JEDEC) to be possible with DDR5. We're now only from 4000 to 5600 5(!) years since the specification was published. What if AMD achieves this only few months before DDR5 EOL?..

... or not at all?..
